Hi, I’m Jilian a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 7 years of experience as a practicing clinician.
I offer telehealth psychotherapy for individuals of all ages who are navigating complex emotions, trauma, recovery, and life transitions. My goal is to provide a space that feels safe, compassionate, and empowering.
I specialize in supporting clients experiencing anxiety, other mood disorders, addiction & recovery, ADHD, trauma, and crisis-related issues. I support fellow caregivers and helping professionals who need space to process their own pain. I also incorporate elements of Gottman Method Couples Therapy for clients navigating relationship challenges.
My experience in crisis intervention and emergency psychiatric care has given me a deep respect for the resilience it takes to keep going, even when things feel impossible. I aim to create a space where you can be honest without fear of judgment and begin to rewrite the stories that have kept you stuck.
Outside of therapy I’m passionate about music, tarot, astrology, animals, spirituality, and connecting with nature as forms of self-reflection and grounding.
Therapy has the potential to be a transformative experience. I have found people realize the benefit of therapy when they learn how to communicate and advocate for themselves compassionately, practice setting better boundaries, love themselves and others more fully, start to listen to their feelings as teachers and compasses pointing to important lessons, and when they begin to trust themselves as they are, to live authentically and unapologetically. Therapy with me is informed by Social Justice, Allyship, Anti-Racism and is Affirming of all Identities, including, Neurodivergent, Sexual, and Gender.
Welcome! And congratulations on taking an important step towards the life that you want to live. I know that it can be difficult or overwhelming to figure out what therapist might be a good fit for you. I help clients with a wide range of concerns or problems, including depression, anxiety, and adjustment to life transitions, and I specialize in working with clients who have experienced abuse, trauma, or grief. If you feel stuck by things that happened in your past, negative messages about yourself that you’ve internalized, or automatic behavior patterns that are no longer working for you, I can help.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Newark
Finding couples therapists in Newark starts with naming what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, or parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so review each therapist’s listed specialties and approach. You may want to look for a licensed marriage and family therapist, or a therapist trained in couples methods like the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy.
Newark offers a range of local therapy options, while nearby commute patterns, transit access, and work schedules can shape what feels practical. For couples therapy, the right fit also needs to work for both partners. Consider appointment availability, virtual or in-person format, and whether the therapist offers a free phone consultation to discuss fit before booking. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they structure sessions, communicate with couples, and approach relationship concerns.
Couples therapy in Newark can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket responsibility before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who are accepting new patients, match your preferences, and may accept a range of insurance plans depending on your location and coverage. You can review estimated costs, compare therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
